A 40-year-old trader who hit the head of a public servant with an empty crate, leading to his death, has been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.

This was after a seven-member jury returned a verdict of guilty on Veronica Djoazaa, the trader, at the end of the trial.

Djoazaa, who is a bar operator, is said to have thrown the empty crate which hit the head of Anthony Apurum, now deceased.

The incident is said to have occurred at Zenu in Ashaiman on October 2, 2021, following a misunderstanding between the two.
